Dev Hub must be enabled in the Salesforce Developer Edition organization or the Trailhead Playground organization you are using. Make sure you are logged in to the Dev Hub organization. Dev Hub is enabled in that organization. If it is not enabled, go to Salesforce => find "Dev Hub" in the settings and turn on "Enable Dev Hub".

Go to Dev Hub org (Salesforce Production org / Developer Edition org that you use as Dev Hub). Then go to Setup → find Dev Hub → make sure you have Enabled Dev Hub (enable the solitaired checkbox). Finally click Save to undo.
